Fitment
Honda SH125 – selected 2013-2016 Start & Stop / related models using the matching steering-head bearing dimensions.
Fitment note: TNT manufacturer-reference 290230B is catalogued for SH125 2013-2016 and uses the same steering bearing/race layout. Compare the removed races before fitting.
Steering Bearing Dimensions / Cross-Check
- Upper race outer diameter: approximately 45mm
- Upper steering-stem inner diameter: approximately 26mm
- Lower race outer diameter: approximately 54mm
- Lower steering-stem inner diameter: approximately 34mm
- Comparable aftermarket bearing height: approximately 12mm
Use these measurements as an additional check only. Measure the original steering races before fitting if the scooter's history or exact model variant is uncertain.

Common Signs of Worn Steering Head Bearings
- Notchy or indexed feeling as the handlebars pass through the straight-ahead position
- Heavy or uneven steering
- Knocking or movement at the steering head under braking
- Excessive free play at the front end
- Corroded, pitted or damaged bearing races found during front-end servicing
Important Compatibility & Fitting Checks
- Confirm the exact scooter model and production year.
- Compare the upper and lower race diameters with the parts removed from the frame.
- Check the steering-stem diameters and mating cone shapes.
- Inspect the steering-head dust seal and locknut while the front end is dismantled and replace separately if required.
- Apply a suitable high-quality bearing grease during assembly.
- Adjust steering-bearing preload according to the Honda workshop procedure; overtightening can cause heavy steering and premature wear.
Steering bearings are a safety-critical chassis component. Installation should be carried out by someone with suitable motorcycle/scooter repair experience and the correct bearing installation tools.
